Happiest of new years, virtual friends! Hope the winter has been treating you well and that you are as excited as I am to count those days until spring while we ponder 2024’s draft landscape. I’ve already drafted a few NFBC-style draft and hold teams (15-team leagues, 50 man rosters, no free agents or trading, […]

What a season, friends (and it’s not even over yet!) — so much to discuss and so little time. In continuing our thoughts from last week, we’ll once again touch upon the magical greatness of the RCL leagues (one more shout out to MattTruss for editing all these posts AND serving as the god of […]

As the season quickly winds down, I thought we’d do something a little different this week. Even with a handful of still-competitive leagues that will come down to the wire this year, it’s been hard for me to stop thinking ahead to 2024. It’s never to soon to look at what went right and wrong […]

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, friends and fellow deep leaguers, as we’re suddenly at the point where we can start measuring the remaining time of another Major League Baseball season in days rather than weeks. When it comes to fantasy, I have exactly one league where I need wins but have such a huge lead […]

Well, we’re down to just over three weeks of regular season baseball left; here’s to hoping you have at least one team in the running for a fantasy title or at least a money finish. While I have a few teams that have been left in the fantasy dust, I also have several that are […]

Happy Labor Day, deep-league friends! Hope you’re out of the path of any stormy weather and that the weekend treats you well, whether you are laboring or kicking up your heels as we head into the final month of baseball. I’ve noticed my virtual inboxes filling with fantasy football offers, announcements, and other updates, which […]

Not sure how this happened, folks, but in less than a week it’s gonna be September! I’ve said it again and again, but why stop now… even if you’re out of the running for a title in your deeper league(s), this is not the time to tune out completely. The more we observe now, the […]

What a difference a week makes. Since we last chatted, we’ve had one of the best middle infielders in each league become suddenly unavailable to their fantasy owners, and what’s followed has been, if not life imitating art, at least the fantasy community imitating major league baseball. Jonathan Aranda, Osleivis Basabe, Vaughn Grissom, and Nicky […]

Wake up, my friends! I am experiencing first-hand how difficult it can be to stay focused on a disappointing fantasy baseball team or two, especially when presented with alternate activities like hitting the beach, heading out on a family vacation, or preparing for a soon-to-happen football draft. But I’ll once again say to myself and […]

The trade deadline has come and gone, and overall I think the transactions that preceded it did more to hurt my fantasy teams than to help them as we storm into August. I’m also realizing that because the deadline is later than it used to be, it feels like we have more time left in […]

I don’t know about you, but now that we’re in the throes of summer, keeping as mentally focused as I should be to stay on top of several fantasy baseball leagues is getting more and more difficult, even for those teams that are doing well. Whether you’re on a frivolous vacation or working hard, whether […]

The All Star Break is a weird thing… everyone loves some time off, but it can really mess with your momentum. That often seems to be the case in real-life baseball, and a handful of players have looked a little dazed and confused now that action has resumed. Mitch Keller and Lucas Giolito, for instance, […]
